The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Chapter 418 Inquiring for Information

Why do they go in and out of battlefields, kill countless enemies, and put their heads on their belts, but still live a miserable life?

And these women, standing there in all their glamorous looks, look so fragile yet they get so many benefits.

He glanced at Fan Xuanyu with some disdain in his eyes.

It’s great to be a woman. Just open your legs and there are plenty of men who will come to you.

"General, there were several people present when the girls entered the city, and they are waiting outside now."

"Bring it in."

After a while, three people came in. They were the ones who had talked to Fang Youming before.

They were led over and nodded to Fang Youming who was kneeling on the ground.

"Yes, it was him. He said he was here to look for his relatives."

"Yes, I showed the things to the noble man and let him follow me."

Zan Lei pressed, "Can you see what it is?"

Although he was asking, his eyes were on Fang Youming.

"No, it's wrapped in a handkerchief."

The person who answered couldn't help but shrink back when he saw Zan Lei's bad tone.

Seeing this, Zan Lei felt that his work was in vain, but he couldn't lose face, so he could only snort and leave.

As he left, the officers and soldiers followed.

Among the crowd, there was a strange face who quietly followed the team of officers and soldiers away.

"Hey."

When General Wang saw the man leave angrily, his face looked like a palette of colors. When facing Dean Liao, he forced a smile.

"Young people are impulsive and hot-tempered."

Dean Liao retracted his soft sword and said, "Deputy General Zan has done his duty conscientiously and is beyond reproach."

General Wang breathed a sigh of relief and brought up the next sentence.

"However, we just arrived at the Mu family and there was such a scene. I'm afraid it won't sound good if the news gets back."

"Yes, that's right."

General Wang cursed Zan Lei's ancestors in his heart, and went back to prepare a letter, asking him to get back to the barracks.

He is arrogant and doesn't understand the ways of the world at all.

"Alas, you also know that this border area is different from the capital. It's always better to be cautious."

"Of course. Your Majesty will surely be delighted to know that the soldiers on the border are so dedicated to their duties."

Dean Liao changed his tone, and General Wang knew that this meant he would not pursue the matter further.

"When we left the capital, the official who was about to take up his post had just returned to report to the capital. During this period, I would like to trouble the general to take good care of the Marquis' Mansion and the Girls' School."

She put her hands together and placed them naturally in front of her abdomen.

"Since it is the Empress's decree, who in the Mu clan dares to embarrass Xunlu Nuxue? If anyone so foolish as to offend you, just send someone to find me."

After such a long time, General Wang finally sat down and drank a sip of hot tea, thinking about the Marquis' Mansion mentioned by Dean Liao.

"It's just a small matter, not worth bothering you. I just want to say a few words to the general in private. The person accompanying us is the steward of the Duan Hou Mansion in the capital, and we will do some small business here in the future. I'm new to the Mu family and don't know the local customs. I hope you can take good care of me."

"Hahahaha, no problem. Normally, I have a very good relationship with that brother. He always gives me a share of the food he sends from his mansion. Since I am a member of his family, this general must take care of me in any way."

Very good relationship? Dean Liao didn't completely believe it. From just their contact, he knew that General Wang was not very cunning, and those few were enough for him to use.

During the conversation, he seemed like an ordinary person. Apart from the fact that he had just chopped someone off with great skill, which looked scary, he did not have the temperament of a general at all.

This makes it difficult to understand, and it's not that simple.

Dean Liao looked worried and asked another question.

"I wonder if you have any news about the young general. His Royal Highness Prince Chun asked me to inquire more about him this time. As soon as I have any news, I will write back to him and tell him the good news."

Prince Chun was also a king, even though he had no chance of succeeding to the throne.

But as the youngest son of the old emperor, as long as the emperor is alive, he will be the most favored Prince Chun in the Great Chu.

"I shouldn't have said this, but since Your Highness Prince Chun asked, I'll quietly let you know."

General Wang lowered his voice and looked around.

"Now that the fighting has subsided, Brother Duan will surely be back soon. As for where he is now, I'm sorry I can't tell you."

Dean Liao looked at him, wondering whether these words were credible.

"Only General Luo and General Qin know about him. We are all unaware of his whereabouts. However, I heard a few rumors before, and I estimate that he should be back soon."

Dean Liao thought about the news Fang Youming had told him and looked at General Wang.

"Thank you very much, General. It's already noon, how about we go have lunch first?"

She made a gesture of invitation and the two of them walked towards the dining room.

There were not only the two of them eating, Duan He was there too.

When the female student joined the army, he just met the servant of the marquis's mansion who had stayed in Mu's before, and asked him about the young general.

He rushed over after receiving the news, but as soon as he arrived, he received a message from someone close to President Liao, asking him to stay calm.

Upon learning that General Wang would stay for lunch at noon, he took his men to order food and then waited here.

At the banquet, both the host and the guests were having a great time.

After the wine was finished and the crowd dispersed, General Wang was supported by his men as he returned home. He had come empty-handed, but left with a large cartload of stuff.

Someone who was curious specifically asked around and found out that it was a truck full of local specialties. He then thought to himself, "How stingy!"

The gifts are so shabby.

After Fan Xuanyu came out of Dean Liao’s room, he went to the warehouse in person.

"Senior Sister Fan, why are you here?"

There are three teachers and seven trainee students here counting the warehouse.

"I'm here to do some shopping. Is now convenient?"

The female students brought a lot of supplies with them this time. If they need anything on a daily basis, they can use their own allowance or their own money to buy it.

"It's convenient, but you have to go get it yourself, Senior Sister, and then give it to me for accounting later."

Fan Xuanyu took a basket from the side and thanked him.

"Senior Sister, I heard that your relatives came to visit?"

Some younger ones came forward to ask questions, and the others listened with their ears pricked up.

"Yes, a distant relative. When he came, my mother asked me to find out where he was and see if I could take care of him. I never thought I would meet him as soon as I entered the city."

Fan Xuanyu's tone revealed happiness. She was usually very quiet, but today she spoke so much.

The others were happy for her when they saw this, but they were also a little worried.

The distant relatives were waiting for Senior Sister Fan early in the morning. They were a little worried that it would be troublesome if she turned out to be someone who didn't know what was good for her and was difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but show some worry on their faces.

There was a teacher who had taught Xuan Yu before. She loved every student here, and seeing this, she couldn't help but say a few more words.

Receiving the care from the teacher and fellow apprentice sisters, Fan Xuanyu smiled widely, like a flower blooming in spring.

"I saved it, thank you."

After choosing the things, she asked the junior sister who had just been there to keep accounts for her.
